Yeah funeral doom can either be the most boring long drawn stuff in the world or really work like magic when someone hits the right notes so to speak. ( sorry I know it�s the black metal thread, so no more about funeral doom from me)

It indeed is a bit slow and the focus is certainly on atmosphere. Dark
stuff. Nothing ground-breaking but good nonetheless. Added both bands to
MMA.

^ I've heard about Horn many times but never listened to it. Maybe it's now finally time, heh.
Edit: I am familiar with the same member's other band Licht Erlischt..., actually just its demo, but it was quite good I remember. Now playing it... Edited by Vehemency - 04 Jun 2010 at 1:27pm |

I've been listening to some Gnaw Their Tongues stuff lately... that music scares me to death but something about it captivates me...
I've literally had a few nightmares from that music! |

Speaking of noisy / droney black metal, I just recently added Wrath of the Weak here, of which album Alogon is quite good in my opinion. Said to sound too much like Velvet Cacoon but what the hell, it's good nonetheless methinks.

Just did some quick web searching:
http://www.myspace.com/pompitune Pompidou is an indie rock band These two are projects pre-dating Gnaw Their Tongues http://www.archive.org/details/DimlitHateCellar http://gnawtheirtongues.bandcamp.com/album/we-the-unclean-shall-flourish-the-celestial-nightmare-demos-93-94 The latter is sounding far more promising. |

I'm only one up on you. I've got the two full length Aderlating albums. Devotional Hymns is rating reasonably highly in my '10 albums. The Nectar of Perversity Spring From the Well of Repression retains a little more of the tenuous relations to Black Metal, but only just, and chops and changes a little more frequently than the latest. Devotional Hymns is basically stripped of these links, and at times sounds like it's been recorded inside a jet engine. I like to think of it as 'dark noise'. Sometimes it reminds of how �thenor (different sound palette) tried to simulate the effects of insomnia, but with Aderlating it is a self imposed situation, more monotonous and devastating. Cheers for the heads up on the box-set. |

^It�s actually just recently that I was introduced to De Magia Veterum. Mories is a genious in my eyes. Very innovative and unique. So I�ve actually only listened to Gnaw Their Tongues and De Magia Veterum ( I guess the related projects part of my statement sounds a bit wrong). Metal Archives list these acts too: Ophiuchus, Pompidou, Aderlating, Dimlit Hate Cellar, Astral as acts Mories have been involved in. Do you know any of them and are any of them recommendable?
Oh yeah and I�m glad you liked the review. It didn�t take long to write but it took me a year to come up with the words. Edited by UMUR - 31 May 2010 at 1:04pm |

I'll have to keep an eye out for Blood of Kingu. Spent too much on CD's this week already :(
Thought I'd transfer this across here to see if some discussion can be generated. Read one of your reviews on PA: http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=266615, spot on in my books. What other projects have you heard? |

Hehe, I don't usually collect anything and every album I buy is for listening, but the fanboy inside me has loosened my principle when it comes to Drudkh I guess.
Battlefields is a great album. Funny thing is that while I love Hate Forest's usual style, my favourite release of theirs is the ambient demo Temple Forest. Pure magic there, 5 stars from me. The new band after Hate Forest's end, Blood of Kingu, is some great stuff too. The second album just came out and I really like it, they're perhaps mixing some death metal into it now too. Edit: S.V.E.S.T. added ;-) waiting for MusicBrainz sync. Edited by Vehemency - 29 May 2010 at 4:33pm |

Ha ha... that's some serious commitment to a band :P
I'll pick Blood in Our Wells for sure now. My favourite Hate Forest album is Battlefields where they use the native folk influences quiet heavily.
This reminded me, don't think S.V.E.S.T. are on the site yet. Edited by Murphy - 27 May 2010 at 8:43pm |

Blood in Our Wells has almost 'progressive' elements (basically just more varied song structures) and some people refer to it as 'cinematic' because it includes samples from some Ukrainian (or Russian, can't remember) movie. The sound production is more full and professional but not too polished or anything. About Ukrainian folk influences, yeah there's certainly more of that, since Forgotten Legends and Autumn Aurora were basically just beautiful nature albums, couldn't sense those albums as so 'Ukrainian'. Since The Swan Road they've definitely added hints of their home country to the music.
I just realized I own 4 different versions of BioW release: original cd, super jewel box cd, original vinyl, and picture-LP. What a fanboy! And it's definitely not the only Drudkh album of which I have many versions, not going to even list them here ... |

I remember in '05 being highly disappointed with The Swan Road. Not a bad album, but it did not reach up to the ridiculously high standard I'd assigned the band. So I never got around to picking up Blood in Our Wells. I was living in Russia the year it was released and was intrigued by the cover art; funnily enough a couple of weeks later I stumbled across the painting they used for the cover in a gallery and had good intentions, after that, to pick it up in the stores, but never did. Might have to put it on my list. What's it sound like? They were integrating their Ukrainian folk influences a little more heavily, were they not?

The other albums are great too but don't reach the perfection of these 3 albums. There might be a new album coming out this year (at least the Les Discrets dude has been asked to do some graphics for Drudkh) and although Microcosmos was slightly a disappointment, I still have my expectations very high. |

Yeah, I think a lot of people like the self-titled the best. I've been listening to the albums for years, but have never managed to get my head around which one I like best. Most of them provoke a visceral experience that has stayed with me for years, even through the period where I'd disowned metal nearly entirely.
Which albums out of interest? I was enamored with Forgotten Legends and Autumn Aurora when I was a teenager. I'll still put them on every now and again and be swept away by their beauty. |
